00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:05.879
Life can seem pretty easy when you're
a master vampire like Bella Tabon. But

2
00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:12.199
what happens when you have some very
real weaknesses that are suddenly up front and

3
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:17.839
center. Can you survive with all
the enemies you've made? As the moon

4
00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:26.239
covers the sun and you have nowhere
to hide? What's that you want to

5
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:38.759
be scared to? Come with me? You will experience tales over opera,

6
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:44.920
ghosts, and death. It is
not recommended at the foot of week at

7
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:51.799
Heart, Heart listen, as in
the dark, it's more fun at that

8
00:00:51.960 --> 00:01:04.879
way way. This is Weekly Speaking. Hello, my spookys, It's Wednesday,

9
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:11.239
and you know what that means.
It's time for a little spooky in

10
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:15.280
your Weekly. I'm your host and
narrator, Enrique Kuto, and I am

11
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:19.200
so happy to be here today with
you all as we take another journey over

12
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:25.519
to Strickfield for a little celebration of
an eclipse. Now, I know a

13
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:29.560
real eclipse is coming up in just
a few short weeks, but we like

14
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:33.879
to be a bit ahead of the
curve here at Weekly Spooky, So we're

15
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:36.480
gonna get to it in just a
moment. But before we get to the

16
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:40.680
story, I want to say thank
you so much for listening to the show.

17
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:45.079
As we enter spring and summer,
many people don't want to listen to

18
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:49.480
chilling terror tales. But you,
my dear listener, are a die hard.

19
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:55.599
Oh yes, just like Bella Tabon
herself, your love and commitment to

20
00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:00.439
the Spooky simply will not die.
And I appreciate each and every one of

21
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:06.040
you so very much. And if

26
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:29.479
by Rob Fields, all about a
group of teenagers who decide to go camping

27
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:36.560
on an abandoned campground and they find
less fun in the sun and more vengeance

28
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:42.319
and blood. So make sure to
check that out at Weeklyspooky dot com.

show but don't have any money to spare,

that's okay. A very helpful thing
you can do for us that doesn't

31
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:54.000
cost you any money is go to
Spotify or Apple Podcasts and leave us a

32
00:02:54.039 --> 00:03:00.759
five star rating it helps other spookies
find the show. But now, Spookies,

33
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:06.000
the moon is moving across the sun, and it's time we check in

34
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:19.199
on Bella Tabon, and we'll do
that right after these quick words. Mortal

35
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:28.599
Eclipse by Rob Fields. I was
sound asleep when I felt someone shaking me

36
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:34.280
awake, Einstein. I yawned and
blinked a few times. Then I fully

37
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:38.400
opened my eyes to see my older
brother Martin. What do you want?

38
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:43.840
I grumbled. I can't find Bella
anywhere. I want to talk to her.

39
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:46.280
She never came home last night.
I worked some overtime at mir and

40
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:52.400
Automotive and didn't get home until late. Martin explained, Bella wasn't here.

41
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:54.159
I looked all over the house for
her. I even went out back.

42
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:59.360
I figured she was out fighting a
vampire or something. I woke up a

43
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:01.879
little while ago, and she's not
here. She doesn't have a smartphone,

44
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:06.319
so I can't text her. I
groaned, Well, what do you want

45
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:11.439
me to do? Martin fired back, you can help find her, you

46
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:15.079
little snippet. This was the sort
of thing you never saw between Martin and

47
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:19.600
me until now. Martin and I
truly didn't get along with each other,

48
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:25.680
and for good reason. Still,
after hearing Martin, I was worried about

49
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:30.439
Bell's I didn't back down for Martin. Okay, I'll change clothes and go

50
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.839
out and look for her. Does
that make mean Martin happy? I yelled.

51
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:38.920
Martin wanted to grab me, but
he knew better. Instead, he

52
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:42.839
took a deep breath. You know
Bella better than I. Do you know

53
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:46.879
where she frequents? I gave Martin
an odd look. Has it ever occurred

54
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:50.639
to you that maybe there's a reason
why Bells doesn't want to talk to you.

55
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:55.839
For the record, she knows you're
sleeping around with other girls. I

56
00:04:55.879 --> 00:05:00.199
pointed at him, You two aren't
even in a relationship. I folded my

57
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:02.920
arms in front of me. Even
though you're working so many hours and keeping

58
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:08.360
up with your college work, you're
still out causing trouble. Martin pointed right

59
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:12.920
at me. Don't you test me. I unfolded my arms and tightened my

60
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:17.199
fists. Fuck you, it's because
of you that I'm sick. Martin got

61
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:21.360
diffused fast and backed off. He
could never look me in the face after

62
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:28.560
what happened that night, Martin sighed, Einstein, I just want to talk

63
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:30.759
to Bella as long as she's staying
here with you. I think it's the

64
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:35.439
least she can do. We both
know Bella's never liked being here in Strickfield.

65
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:41.319
I'm beginning to wonder if she finally. I untightened my fists and got

66
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:44.319
out of bed. I went to
my closet and gave it a quick once

67
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:47.560
over. Martin quickly came up right
behind me. What are you doing,

68
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:53.600
you little snippet? Martin always called
me a little snippet whenever I frustrated him,

69
00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:57.920
which made me laugh a little inside. Martin was only caring for me

70
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:01.920
out of obligation. Far from that, there was no love lost between us.

71
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:06.480
I quickly turned to Martin and glared
at him. No, Bell's didn't

72
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:11.560
leave Strickfield, at least not for
good. Her things are still here.

73
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.600
I pointed to the floor in the
closet. See those those are her eighties

74
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:21.199
rebock pump men's basketball shoes. Bell
would never just leave those behind. I

75
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:25.439
had to think about it a little
bit. But you're right, mean,

76
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:29.439
Martin, He pointed right at me. You don't get to call me that,

77
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.519
fuck you. I snap again.
He seemed ready to grab me again,

78
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:39.279
but he backed off. Yeah,
he knows better. Then, I

79
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:43.920
talked to him. It is strange
that Bell's isn't home on a Saturday morning.

80
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:46.680
She usually comes and shakes me awake, so we can go have breakfast

81
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:53.240
at Denoyer's grill. I look Martin
in the face. Fine, I'll change

82
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:56.120
clothes and go look for her.
I have some ideas on where to find

83
00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:00.160
her. I pointed at him,
who knows, maybe if you're lucky,

84
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:03.920
neither of us will come back home. I work all those hours for you,

85
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:10.160
Einstein, he snapped, It's how
I afford your medications. He pointed

86
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:15.199
right at me. You'd better start
showing me some fucking respect. You don't

87
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:19.120
deserve any goddamn respect, I snapped
back, Now get out of my room.

88
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:25.639
Martin growled and finally left. I
changed into regular clothes and grabbed my

89
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:29.680
smartphone. I called for an Uber
since I couldn't drive, and waited.

90
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:33.519
This road trip was probably going to
be expensive, but I was willing to

91
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:39.079
pay it anything to get away from
mean Martin. At that point, I

92
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:42.319
had the Uber driver take me to
some of the usual haunts Bells and I

93
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:46.519
frequented Bells. Wasn't at any of
them. I even looked at the Neyer's

94
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:50.199
grill. The place was packed full
of Strickfield High students who were having breakfast.

95
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:55.519
I didn't see any sign of Bells, though I didn't think I would.

96
00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:01.040
You'd think she'd probably be here,
especially with that monstrous appetite of hers.

97
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:07.279
See. Bell's is a master vampire, but a really unique version of

98
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:11.120
one. She's the only one of
her kind who can walk in the daylight.

99
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:16.800
She has many master vampire strengths and
none of their weaknesses. She's also

100
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:22.639
the one vampire I know who doesn't
drink blood. No, she has to

101
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.800
eat an incredible amount of food in
order to satisfy her immense hunger. Martin

102
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:31.159
was right about Bells and Strickfield.
She hated the village, but Denoyer's Grill

103
00:08:31.320 --> 00:08:37.000
was the one place she truly loved. Here. People loved the food at

104
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:41.600
Denoyer's, but Bell's really loved it. I had no doubt that Denoyer himself

105
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:46.720
made money off her since she started
eating there almost regularly. But No,

106
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:50.559
Bells wouldn't have come here on Saturday
morning without me, I mean us.

107
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:56.399
Having breakfast here on Saturday morning was
a weekly ritual for us. The driver

108
00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:00.000
pulled away from the diner, I
had him take me to other places where

109
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:03.399
Bells and I would hang out.
I even went down the big hill near

110
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:07.759
the Castalia River to the cave where
we'd go sometimes to be alone. If

111
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:11.720
anything, Bells loved the view there. You could see the big river and

112
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:16.039
even some of Strickfield University. I
think that was why we went to a

113
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:20.399
lot of places off the beaten path, just her and me. She loved

114
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.960
her views. And then I suddenly
realized that I knew where Bells was.

115
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:30.000
There was one more place that suddenly
came to mind, the one place that

116
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:35.120
had the view. You want to
make some serious money, I asked the

117
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:43.120
driver. What you got in mind? He asked quickly. It was dark

118
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:48.679
when I reached the very top floor
of the tallest building in the huge megalopolis

119
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:52.799
of Shore City. It was night, it was chilly, and it was

120
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:58.080
quite windy up here. I came
out onto the roof through the doorway and

121
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.399
found Bells there. I first came
to this place just before we left back

122
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:07.120
in June, after my falling out
with Grandma. Donnerly took you long enough,

123
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:11.960
iiny, Bell said, without even
looking my way. Bells, is

124
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:18.039
everything, okay? I asked,
in concern. Martin wanted me to find

125
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:24.879
you fuck him, She replied,
I got my own problems. What problems

126
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:31.519
you're scaring me? She turned and
faced me. Something was quite different about

127
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:35.120
Bells. Now. Usually she was
practically naked. I mean she had to

128
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:39.559
keep enough of her skin exposed so
she didn't become too claustrophobic, which was

129
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.559
part of her vampirism. But now
she was wearing some of my clothes,

130
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:48.840
a pair of jeans, a Strickfield
High T shirt, normal shoes, and

131
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:54.159
even her varsity jacket that the Strickfield
High cheerleaders wore. I was wearing mine.

132
00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:58.000
She didn't look the least bit ready
to shred her clothes. She even

133
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:03.360
had sunglasses on. I just looked
at Bells. Are you okay? I

134
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:07.799
mean, are you really okay?
As Bells came close to me, I

135
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:13.200
could tell she'd been crying. Then
she pointed to the moon. I didn't

136
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:16.759
mention this. I wasn't sure if
you'd heard about it or not. But

137
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:22.559
we got a solar eclipse going on. This eclipse is the single biggest event

138
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:26.279
to someone like me. I NEI, oh, I know about the solar

139
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:30.879
eclipse. I pointed to my glasses
to show my lenses had transitioned dark.

140
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:37.519
But what you don't know is that
the solar eclipse is the one time where

141
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:41.159
I become as close to human as
I can possibly be. During the solar

142
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:48.039
eclipse, I'm completely powerless. I
can be hurt and killed like an ordinary

143
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:52.720
human being. Since I still have
Thornton Gillian's blood in my body, I

144
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:56.120
found I'm still immortal for sure when
it comes to my aging process, and

145
00:11:56.159 --> 00:12:00.039
I still have to eat a ton
of food. I hit in all you

146
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:03.399
can eat buffet Before I came here. You could have stayed at the house

147
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:07.279
bells. I pointed out, why
come all the way to Shore City for

148
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:13.799
the eclipse, because this is the
one time I'm most vulnerable. You and

149
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:18.000
I both know Martin's been showing as
true colors as of late. I wouldn't

150
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:20.519
put it past him to try and
take advantage of me as a human.

151
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.679
I still have my training, but
Martin would piss me off to the point

152
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:28.240
where I'd want to kill him.
No, Irony, it's better this way.

153
00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:33.840
We both leaned against a wall and
just looked out at the seemingly endless

154
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:39.120
array of lights and huge bridges that
spanned the Big River. I love it

155
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:43.559
up here. Heinie, Bells told
me, it's so beautiful up here.

156
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:48.120
I can't think of a more perfect
place to wait out the eclipse. You're

157
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:52.159
right, Bells, it is beautiful
up here. I glanced over at her.

158
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:56.080
You know, I really envy you. Sometimes you can see the world

159
00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:01.639
over on account of you never getting
old. Took and held my hand.

160
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:09.440
To be honest, being a fucking
vampire wasn't something I ever wanted. Unfortunately,

161
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:11.840
I can't give this shit back.
All I can do is savor the

162
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:18.039
one fucking eclipse that can make me
almost human again, if even for just

163
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:22.559
a little while. What you'd rather
be dead? I asked with surprise,

164
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:28.120
Bells squeezed my hand a little.
I should be long dead in my grave

165
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:35.080
with my fucking kids. Continuing the
tabon line, she started crying softly again

166
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:41.519
before she got mad. But no, I gotta both be a fucking immortal

167
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:46.879
and the only tabon in existence.
Then she suddenly screamed out into the night,

168
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:50.440
Fuck you Thornton, Jillian. If
it's the last mother fucking thing I

169
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:56.480
do, I'll kill every last goddamn
one of your kind. When she calmed

170
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:01.879
down, I glanced her way.
I'm so sorry. I whispered, Bells

171
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:07.200
shook her head slowly. Don't be
fucking sorry. You didn't make me a

172
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:13.279
monster. She glanced at me.
Now you're such a mousy little shit like

173
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:20.759
your cousin Madeline. But I've really
come to fucking love you anyway. Trust

174
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:24.919
me on this. You don't want
to be envying me. Being like me

175
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:28.639
ain't all it's cracked up to be. I eat more food than a fucking

176
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:33.679
billy goat, and I want sex
all the time. I even started fucking

177
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:39.559
people at school. I loved to
fight when I was a mortal. Now

178
00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:43.080
that I'm tainted with Thornton Gillian's blood, I love it that much more.

179
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:50.240
With all that comes with being me, you'd be very high maintenance. I

180
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.559
really didn't know what to say to
Bells. She smiled a little. Don't

181
00:14:54.600 --> 00:15:00.200
worry, Iiny, You're definitely safe. Since I don't drink blood, that

182
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:03.480
means I can't sire anybody. Bells
and I just looked at each other.

183
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:07.960
Then I got a text from Martin
and showed it to her. Should I

184
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:13.960
tell Martin I found you and you're
okay? She raised an eyebrow. We

185
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:18.000
both know you don't want to drop
the act. I know you two don't

186
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:22.759
get along. I know you hate
him, I nodded so much. He's

187
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:26.279
the reason I'm sick. I replied
to Martin and lied about finding Bells.

188
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:30.720
When he demanded to know where I
was, I shut the phone off.

189
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:35.600
Bells put an arm around me and
gave me a gentle hug. I put

190
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:39.799
an arm around her and hugged her
back. We were silent for a long

191
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.039
moment before I asked, Okay,
Bells, what do you want to do

192
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:48.120
while we wait out this eclipse.
Before Bells could answer, someone else answered

193
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:52.399
for her. I've got a great
idea. How about the two of us

194
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:56.279
beat the two of you to a
bloody pulp before we kill both of your

195
00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:03.840
fucking asses. Bells and I were
both surprised to see no mother fucking way.

196
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:08.639
Bells cried, I fucking paralyzed you
two last winter. We didn't know

197
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:12.840
which girl was Witch, since they
were identical twin sisters, but they were

198
00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:18.240
on either side of us. They
were wearing completely different cheerleading outfits from the

199
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:22.159
ones that Bells and I wore at
Strickfield High. They were black with red

200
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:26.360
trim and consisted of a mini skirt
with an athletic top. In fact,

201
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:30.879
their tops both had a word embroidered
on them. The twin coming toward Bells

202
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:36.600
had bitch, while the other coming
toward me had Vixen. They both had

203
00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:41.639
long, wavy blonde hair and glowing
red eyes. They were Alissa and Ali

204
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:48.600
Miron. Bells fought those two and
their cheerleading squad back in January. They

205
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:53.320
were a coven of witches who were
trying to turn themselves into vampires using something

206
00:16:53.440 --> 00:17:00.399
called old bloodstone that's old with an
E on the end. As far as

207
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:04.880
we both knew, they hadn't completed
their transformations into vampires. To show us

208
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:11.680
that they had, they vamped out
and raised their claws. The vixen twin

209
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:17.039
laughed at Belle's comment, guess we
got the last laugh. Huh. The

210
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:22.119
bitch one smiled an evil smile.
Here's what you didn't know. We,

211
00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:26.839
that is, Alyssa and me took
the power from the other cheerleaders ourselves,

212
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:33.599
right, Alyssa agreed. We figured
you'd catch on to us somehow. Yeah,

213
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:37.519
we learned who you were, Bella
Tabon. We put some extra old

214
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:44.200
bloodstone inside our shoe soles. We
were able to complete our transformations into full

215
00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:48.880
vampires. After all, we were
coming to look for you too, Ali

216
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:53.720
growled, we owe you for what
happened back in January. And what did

217
00:17:53.720 --> 00:18:00.960
we just hear? Alyssa squealed with
delight that you Bella Tabon are powerless during

218
00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:07.960
this eclipse. Ali's anger turned to
a squealing delight now, which means we

219
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:11.400
can have all the fun we want
with you before we drink you up.

220
00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:25.640
Don't go away weakly, spooky,
We'll be right back, run iy,

221
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:29.960
Bells yelled. The two of us
both turned to the door and escaped through

222
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:33.799
it. I quickly pulled it shut
behind us and locked it. As we

223
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:36.960
were at the bottom of the steps, we heard the door being ripped away.

224
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:41.200
We can't outrun them, Bells told
me. Suddenly, one of the

225
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:45.160
twins was right in front of Bells
to make sure she ran into her fist.

226
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:48.079
Bells fell flat on her back.
Then the other twin had punched me

227
00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:52.240
right in the face to send me
falling on top of her. She really

228
00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:56.799
is powerless, Ali shrieked with delight. She was the one wearing bitch on

229
00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:02.839
her athletic top. Tab On had
there's a nosebleed that won't stop. Alyssa

230
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:07.240
came up right next to her,
and if she can bleed like that,

231
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:11.720
that means we can kill her.
Bells sat up. Yeah, play with

232
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:15.039
your new fucking powers while you got
them. I may not be at full

233
00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:19.720
strength right now. I was amazed
to see Bells still show off her sinister,

234
00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:26.680
sexy smile. Suddenly, Bells struck. She quickly spun and got to

235
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:30.480
her feet. Then she threw some
kind of powder at both of them.

236
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:34.920
The mirror and twins screamed and shrieked
as they covered their faces. Bells quickly

237
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:38.519
grabbed my hand and pulled me to
my feet. We gotta go itinie,

238
00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:44.039
I shrieked, as Bells and I
ran through some hallways. Bells led me

239
00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:48.799
down one stairway into an elevator to
go down a couple of floors down another

240
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:52.000
stairway. Are they going to catch
us? Bells? I cried? Okay,

241
00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:56.200
yes, I was scared as holy
hell right now. Not that easily,

242
00:19:56.279 --> 00:20:02.039
but they probably will, bell said, truthful, I threw some powerful

243
00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:07.839
garlic essence in their faces. Graham's
family recipe. Their reaction confirms their full

244
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:12.559
vampires. It doesn't look like they've
mastered their new powers fully. You expected

245
00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:18.039
those two I asked, no,
but when you have enemies out there,

246
00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:22.319
other vampires, you damn fucking sure
better be prepared. Bells and I managed

247
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:26.039
to make it down a total of
twenty three floors before we were both finally

248
00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:30.960
taken down by two wolves. As
we turned around to fight the wolves,

249
00:20:32.279 --> 00:20:37.119
they both transformed back into the mirror
twins. Then they both lifted us up

250
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:41.000
and threw us across the room.
We both crashed into cubicles, knocking over

251
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:45.319
the walls. I know, I
ended up flat on my back on a

252
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:48.960
desk. I didn't see where Bells
landed. I didn't have time to clear

253
00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:52.920
the stairs that I was seeing because
a twin snatched me up and threw me

254
00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:57.319
against some more cubicles. I cried
out as I knocked over some more walls.

255
00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:02.160
When I landed, it was on
the floor by a doorway. Bells

256
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:07.200
landed right on top of me.
Shortly after. This is so much fun,

257
00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:11.079
Ali, Alyssa cheered. She was
wearing the vixen top. I know,

258
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:17.400
and we're just getting started, Ali
replied. Then she picked up Bells.

259
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:22.759
Come on, Tabon, fight us. Not so tough without your powers,

260
00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:27.640
are you. Bells gave Ali her
sexy smile. You mean you fucking

261
00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:33.960
airheads haven't figured it out yet.
Being powerless doesn't mean I'm helpless. Bell

262
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:37.799
suddenly reached into her hair, pulled
out two vials of a clear liquid,

263
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:41.279
and threw them at each vampire.
The mer and twins screamed when the vials

264
00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:45.519
broke on their foreheads. They had
burns and boils where the liquid had splashed

265
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:52.400
them. It's fucking holy water,
Alyssa yelled. Bells quickly yanked me to

266
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:56.119
my feet, run ininy. We
both got out of those offices. Bells

267
00:21:56.160 --> 00:22:00.160
again held my hand as she guided
me through stairways for so many floors and

268
00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:04.680
then into elevators. We managed to
get down eleven more floors before the mirr

269
00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:10.119
and twins found us again. Alyssa
grabbed Bells and slammed her head into a

270
00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:14.519
nearby water cooler with enough force to
shatter the glass and get water everywhere.

271
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:18.039
Then she picked Bells up and heaved
her through the glass window that was outside

272
00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:22.880
of an office. Ali grabbed me
and moved my arm behind my back,

273
00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:26.200
making me cry out in pain.
You're going to watch as your friend gets

274
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:32.279
her ass kicked before we kill her. A leaned Donnarly but Bell's wasn't going

275
00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:36.680
to let Alissa just kick her around. She fought back and used some of

276
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:40.720
her martial arts training that she had
accumulated during her travels around the world.

277
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:45.720
Bells managed to draw blood from Alyssa, but it wouldn't be long before Alyssa

278
00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:48.799
would heal up. If anything,
Bells was keeping her dazed and off balance.

279
00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:53.079
Ali threw me to the floor and
went to help her sister. Bells

280
00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:56.839
was taking on both of them.
Now. She showed both twins that she

281
00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:02.119
truly knew how to fight. Bell
wouldn't be able to beat both twins by

282
00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:06.680
just fighting alone, at least not
without her powers. I knew it would

283
00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:10.240
only be a matter of time before
Bells would be overpowered by both of them.

284
00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:15.720
I shrieked and leapt onto Ali's back. Ali quickly grabbed me and flipped

285
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:18.799
me onto my back. Then she
pointed to Bells, stop right there,

286
00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:23.960
stop right there, or so help
me. I'll kill Aileen right goddamn.

287
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:29.839
Now, Bells had no choice but
to stop fighting. Alissa got a cheap

288
00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:33.759
shot and on Bells that caused her
bloody nose to start up again and sent

289
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:37.720
her falling flat on her back.
Then Alyssa uttered an incantation of some kind

290
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:41.920
on Bells. After the spell was
completed, Alyssa gave a weird look.

291
00:23:42.519 --> 00:23:48.519
Whatever spell she had tried on Bells, it didn't work. I'm sure I

292
00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:52.519
recited the spell right, Alyssa complained, you did, Ali assured her sister.

293
00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:56.920
I don't know why it's not working
on her either. Bells laughed.

294
00:23:57.599 --> 00:24:03.240
I may be powerless during this fucking
eclipse, but I still have the vampire

295
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:07.880
blood in my body. Hate to
tell you to fucking bees, but magic

296
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:11.559
is the one thing that doesn't work
on me. It hasn't since I was

297
00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:15.440
transformed, and really, you were
going to try and turn me into an

298
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:19.119
old crone before you killed me.
She flipped them both off. Not happening,

299
00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:23.519
Ali screamed with rage and rushed at
Bell's She managed to get out of

300
00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:27.200
the way, but Ali was still
too quick. She managed to grab Bell's

301
00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:32.400
arm and twist it so that it
snapped at the elbow. Bells screamed an

302
00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:37.200
agonizing pain before Ali kicked her in
the stomach. We need to do it

303
00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:41.400
now, sis, Ali yelled,
We have to destroy Bella tabon now.

304
00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:47.720
Alissa lifted me up and drove me
through a nearby office window. I landed

305
00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:51.640
on my back and was covered with
glass. I was in pain all over.

306
00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:55.680
I knew Alyssa had to be joining
her sister in double teeming bells.

307
00:24:56.480 --> 00:24:59.759
I managed to pull myself to my
feet to see the two of them just

308
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:03.880
laying into bells. These two weren't
holding anything back. They were making Bells

309
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:08.200
scream and pain as they battered and
broke her. When I say they broke

310
00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:14.359
her, I mean they broke bone
after bone. They kicked and punched her

311
00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:18.440
ribs, They broke her arms and
legs. They shattered her knee joints.

312
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:22.279
They even made her face a crimson
mask. One of them even punched Bell

313
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:26.200
in the face so hard that her
left eye came hanging right out of its

314
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:30.200
socket. Bells was flat on her
back. Now the mirror and twins were

315
00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:34.079
standing right over her. Bet,
you don't have anything smart to say to

316
00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:40.079
us, now, Ali taunted,
do you. Even though Bells had been

317
00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:44.119
beaten and battered to the point that
definitely would have killed an ordinary human,

318
00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:48.799
Bells still managed to cling to life. In fact, she was actually laughing

319
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:55.160
at the twins. Yeah, you
two can can both. Then she yelled,

320
00:25:55.880 --> 00:26:00.160
suck my mother fucking dick. Ali
turned to her sister, pull her

321
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:04.720
up. Since she's still human,
I say we drink her dry, then

322
00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:11.640
we drink up her little friend.
Sounds good to me, Alyssa pard Bells

323
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:18.440
laughed again. I wouldn't wouldn't do
that if I were you, but they

324
00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:22.440
ignored her. I tried to find
something to use as a weapon. But

325
00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:26.160
what the hell are you going to
find in a bunch of offices? I

326
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:30.519
spoke too soon. I ran into
an emergency fire axe and broke the glass

327
00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:33.960
to grab the weapon. I rushed
at Alyssa to drive the axe in her

328
00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:37.920
back, but she turned and snatched
me by my throat. Then she grabbed

329
00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:42.359
the axe and tossed it away.
Now, you skinny little shit, you're

330
00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:48.279
going to watch as we drink up
your friend, Alyssa declared. After that,

331
00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:53.680
we're going to drink you up.
No, no, I wailed.

332
00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:59.720
Ali yanked Bells to her feet and
held her from behind as she sank her

333
00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:06.279
fan into Bell's neck. She gasped
as Ali drank her blood. After a

334
00:27:06.279 --> 00:27:12.960
little bit, Ali stopped, sis, it's delicious. I mean it's fucking

335
00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:18.759
scrumptious. I saved you enough so
you can feed the twins switched places.

336
00:27:19.400 --> 00:27:25.839
Then Alyssa drank from Bells, who
wasn't moving anymore. Now I couldn't help

337
00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:33.400
myself and began to cry Bells.
I shrieked. I knew I was going

338
00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:37.400
to be next, but my heart
felt really heavy at knowing that my best

339
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:42.880
friend was likely dead. When Alissa
finished draining whatever was left of Bells,

340
00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:48.640
she threw her body off to the
side like it was a rag doll.

341
00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:53.960
Wow, you were right, Sis, that was the best blood we've ever

342
00:27:55.119 --> 00:28:00.880
tasted. Then she looked at me, aww. She mocked me by pretending

343
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:07.640
to cry, poor little alien,
your big, bad vampire bestie is all

344
00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:14.720
dead now and now for our dessert. Now, for those of you who've

345
00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:19.559
been following along, you know I
usually don't get vulgar unless i'm really mad.

346
00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:25.680
Fuck you, fuck you, you
fucking bleach blonde pieces of shit.

347
00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:30.640
The twins both laughed scornfully at me. I mean, they laughed so hard

348
00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:36.319
I couldn't believe they really thought that
what I screamed was funny. When they

349
00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:41.400
collected themselves, Ali ran her tongue
up the side of my face. Oh

350
00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:45.599
you're so cute. I know.
If I were a guy, I definitely

351
00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:49.000
fuck you good, even if you
are a fucking geek with your squeaky little

352
00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:55.519
mouse voice and all. But like
I said, you get to be dessert

353
00:28:55.599 --> 00:29:00.279
now. Alyssa grinned, knowing these
vampires system were going to drain me the

354
00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:04.519
way they drained Bells. I stood
up boldly and looked Alyssa square in the

355
00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:11.079
eyes. Fuck you, I hope
you choke on me bone appetite, Alyssa

356
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:18.640
said to Ali, you drink first
with pleasure. Ali replied gratefully. Suddenly

357
00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:27.440
it began to get windy indoors,
the twins looked puzzled. You heard ainy.

358
00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:32.400
A familiar voice said, that made
me shriek for joy. When the

359
00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:36.880
mirror and twins turned and saw Bell
standing there hole again, their looks of

360
00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:44.519
horror were priceless. Then Bell's told
them, fuck you. Bell's quickly removed

361
00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:48.680
her varsity jacket and grabbed both of
the twins, causing Ali to let me

362
00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:52.680
go. She threw them both at
a nearby wall. Then she turned to

363
00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:57.640
them. Two things. One guess
what's over? She raised her finger.

364
00:29:59.200 --> 00:30:04.359
That's right, you fucking mirror bees. The solar eclipse is finally fucking over,

365
00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:11.319
which means I'm fully restored, which
means I feel just fucking fantastic,

366
00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:18.400
and two, you're both gonna be
quite fucking dead. Very shortly, the

367
00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:22.319
twins both stood up. Oh what
what are you gonna do? Slaughter us?

368
00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:27.440
Alyssa sneered. Bells folded her arms
in front of her. As much

369
00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:32.039
as I'd like to for how you
hurt, iiny, I really don't have

370
00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:37.880
to. As a matter of fact, a soft sigh, I already killed

371
00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:42.400
you both. The twins just looked
at each other in confusion. Wait for

372
00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:48.079
it, Bell's murmured, Oh,
yes, I'd say, you both are

373
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:52.720
starting to look like handmade shit right
about now. My jaw dropped when it

374
00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:56.960
looked like the twins were starting to
melt. They were both acting like it

375
00:30:57.039 --> 00:31:02.920
was very hot. Then they started
to scream in intense pain while they were

376
00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:07.880
still able to hear yet, Bells
explained, I told you not to drink

377
00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:11.240
from me, didn't I? The
second eclipse ended and I was fully restored.

378
00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:17.920
That means the blood you drank from
me also came alive in your systems.

379
00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:22.319
My blood doesn't allow me to utilize
magic spells. At the same time,

380
00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:29.079
it also disenchants things with magic since
you two were stupid enough to drink

381
00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:33.720
my blood. It's become the deadliest
of poisons to you. Now. We

382
00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:38.519
both watched as Ali and Alissa Mirn
melted away until they were nothing more than

383
00:31:38.519 --> 00:31:45.920
two disgusting piles of goop. Even
their bones and internal organs melted. In

384
00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:51.960
fact, all that remained were their
cheerleader uniforms. Suddenly, Bells started to

385
00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:56.000
feel very uncomfortable herself. She kicked
off her shoes and tore her clothes apart.

386
00:31:56.640 --> 00:32:00.440
By the time she was finished,
the clothes look like a tattered bikini.

387
00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:05.960
Once again, Bell's was unable to
wear a lot of clothing as part

388
00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:10.759
of her unique vampire nature. Bells
turned to me, Are you okay ininee?

389
00:32:12.680 --> 00:32:16.519
I hugged Bells to me tightly and
began to cry. I really thought

390
00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:23.079
they killed you. They did,
she confirmed, looks like Thornton Gillian's blood.

391
00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:29.000
Said otherwise, again, looks like
I'm still cursed to walk the earth

392
00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:32.480
as my own unique kind of master
vampire, So it looks like you and

393
00:32:32.519 --> 00:32:37.759
me are still attached at the hip. When I finished crying, Bells suggested

394
00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:42.160
we get the hell out of there
before the police arrived and head back to

395
00:32:42.200 --> 00:32:49.279
Strickfield. I snatched Bell's hand.
I'm ready to tell you everything now about

396
00:32:49.279 --> 00:32:54.400
what happened to me and why I'm
always sick. Bells gave me her undivided

397
00:32:54.440 --> 00:33:05.400
attention. I'm listening. When we
got in the door, Martin was overjoyed

398
00:33:05.400 --> 00:33:08.400
to see that I had brought Bell's
back home. He shot right to her

399
00:33:08.599 --> 00:33:15.519
and tried to hug her, but
Bell's quickly knocked him on his ass Ainie

400
00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:20.240
told me everything, Martin Bell said. She told me how you fucked a

401
00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:23.559
drunk chick at a high school party, Courtney Rickman. Was it anyway?

402
00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:29.000
She promised you there'd beheld to pay. When the alcohol wore off, Courtney

403
00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:31.680
and her friends came here to find
you. They broke in and found Iinny.

404
00:33:31.799 --> 00:33:37.400
Instead, Courtney's older brother raped Irony
to get back at you for taking

405
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:44.119
advantage of her. The problem was
he had AIDS, which meant Iiny got

406
00:33:44.119 --> 00:33:49.400
aids. Bell's quickly lifted Martin to
his feet. I had never seen Bell

407
00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:54.079
so pissed off in my life.
You just couldn't keep your fucking dick in

408
00:33:54.160 --> 00:34:00.400
your pants, she continued, And
Irony has to pay for that with her

409
00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:06.920
fucking life, she vamped, out. Give me one good, fucking goddamn

410
00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:13.480
reason why I shouldn't kill your ass
Right here and now, Bells glanced at

411
00:34:13.519 --> 00:34:19.719
me. Is this what Grandma Donnerly
tried to tell me in June? Yes,

412
00:34:20.480 --> 00:34:25.880
I whispered sadly. Then I told
Bells, don't kill him. He's

413
00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:32.119
not worth it. How can you
say that, she demanded. It's not

414
00:34:32.239 --> 00:34:37.280
going to make me better. I'm
still going to die. Killing Martin won't

415
00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:45.079
change anything. Bells finally dropped him
and became human again. From now on,

416
00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:50.679
martin Inini's under my protection. You
fuck with her, I fuck with

417
00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:55.760
you. You got that. Bells
turned away from him. Let's get you

418
00:34:55.800 --> 00:35:00.880
into bed. I know you're not
feeling well. I didn't argue as Bells

419
00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:06.480
took me to my bedroom. I
felt so much better finally telling my best

420
00:35:06.519 --> 00:35:12.920
friend everything. I also felt safer
knowing she was there, But deep down

421
00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:22.880
I knew mean Martin would eventually strike
again with a vengeance. Well, my

422
00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:28.400
fiendish friends, I hope you enjoyed
yet another installment of the Bella Tabon story.
